Information Sharing Conflict

With LEAP Interlocal Agreement

November 11, 2011 CJAB LEAP Discussion 1

LEAP Overview • Law Enforcement Analysis Portal (LEAP) sponsored by North Central Texas

Council of Governments (NCTCOG)

• Interjurisdictional Database with Crime Link Analysis & Case Closure Tools

• Interlocal Agreement with 28 Law Enforcement Agencies

• Unresolved Technical Issues and Cost for utilizing access tools (software)

• Does not have an information sharing relationship and model with DPS (TDEX), therefore, has no informational relationship with DOJ (NDEx)

• Interlocal agreement with Dallas County (DC) is for AIS information

• Currently, LEAP’s request for DCIM information is in conflict with DCIM information sharing initiative with agency’s DCIM Interlocal MOU. Without law enforcement agency approval, we can’t release any information

approved by Commissioners Court

• Provides a savings of 250,000 to 350,000 hours to local law enforcement agencies on an annual basis through electronic case filing alone.

• Currently, DCIM Interlocal MOU executed with law enforcement agencies represents 85% of all booking, arrests, and cases filed in Dallas County

Summary

• Reasons for not utilizing LEAP at this time :

– DCIM Interlocal agreement states that LEAs own their own information and must provide permission for sharing that information

– Adds layers of technical complexity and breakpoints (See Exhibit 2)

– Agencies are unwilling to pay for use of LEAP software tools

• Reasons for utilizing LEAP in future

– Could leverage their analysis software tools

– Will be part of our joint partnership in future ACMS development efforts

– Existing Interlocal agreement

November 11, 2011 CJAB LEAP Discussion 7

Recommendations

• With CJAB recommendation;

– Modify our Dallas County’s LEAP interlocal agreement to incorporate DCIM agency information ownership provisions

– Briefing to CJAB Chief Sub-Committee of DCIM impact on their agency LEAP interlocal agreement

– Submit for CJAB a Dallas County Briefing to clarify Dallas County’s position on law enforcement information sharing as a future steward of said information for local law enforcement and Dallas County.
